: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in Wang J, Wu M, Linghu R et al (2021) Usefulness of New Shear Wave Elastography Technique for Noninvasive Assessment of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B: A Prospective Multicenter Study. Ultraschall Med. 10.1055/a-1376-6734.Among 603 patients we included in the current study, results about liver stiffness measurements (LSMs) of 448 patients had been previously published. The data of the current study and the previous study were from the same national multicenter project in China. The objectives and study designs were different between the two studies. In the previous study, the applicability and repeatability of LSMs performed with STE and sound touch quantification (STQ) were assessed, and the diagnostic performance and cut-off values of LSMs for staging liver fibrosis were also evaluated. While in the current study, the applicability and repeatability of SSMs performed with STE were assessed and compared with those of LSMs. The diagnostic performance of SSMs for cirrhosis at different ALT levels was compared with that of LSMs.
